Increasing Standard Of national EXAm



Is it the right choice?

Indonesia now are still facing many problems, such as economy, health, and also education. These problems are full of urgency to solve.

People in Indonesia see that the quality of Education in this country is still low. The Government believes that one of the causes of this problem is the low minimum standard of passing grade for any schools. Compare to the other countries, Indonesia still has the lowest passing grade. The Gov think that this kind of situation will lead the students to the eternal laziness ( because they don’t feel forced)

However, increasing the standard of national exam brings a new problem. Many people think that it’s a bad action and will bring a bad atmosphere toward the education itself. The students will only think about how to get a good mark and forget about their own purpose to go to school: get lessons.


They will do everything to get good mark no matter they deserve to get it or not. Many students become desperate and do cheating to pass their school. They do very very various cheating through SMS, and many other ways. And as my personal comment, this condition could lead them to become the next Indonesian corruptors.

This is one of the current issues in Indonesia. I really need your comment, for Indonesia.

You can give comments in Bahasa Indonesia or English.

One more question: "Does your country have a national exam?"
